decided that both are land grant roads,
and that no title passes to indemnity
lands until selection is made, while on
the other hand. in the case of place
lands the title vests on the completion
of the road, and relates back to the time
of the definite location of the road.
There being No third parties interested,
the staleness of the claim is no defense
